Hello everyone
How can I get rid of these sponges as you see in the picture? It only comes out on top of this, not scattered throughout the aquarium. Started hugging Candy like he was going to kill it:)
Is there a natural way get rid of ?

They look like pineapple sponges, some tweezers should be able to pull them off easy.
yes, pineapple sponges %100.
There are a lot of them in the sump, they don't bother me much, so I don't touch them. But you say, if I take it out and clean it with tweezers, I will be saved. I'll try it tonight.

Yes. They should come off fairly easy. They're a sign of a healthy tank and will come and go. One day I had a massive infestation, then another random day they were all gone.

I am pleased to hear that. There are a lot of them in the sump, I don't touch them. They are already very useful in nature as they filter water. But I was a little worried because it was starting to wrap around the coral. Now I can take them out and throw them back into the sump in the evening. Let them continue their work :)
Thanks
